Finally, the best thing to do in Chinatown Las Vegas. A foodie’s dream come true. With over 150+ restaurants, including world-class caliber Raku, District 1, Chubby Cattle, Niu Gu and non-Asian eateries such as Sparrow & Wolf, Partage, and Mordeo – culinary wise, Las Vegas Chinatown is second to none.

Since its beginning, Spring Mountain Rd has been bustling. Local industry folks, as well as celebrity and master chefs, have been dining there for years. Then, the late Anthony Bourdain let the secret out when he featured our Chinatown on CNN’s hit TV series “Parts Unknown”.

Local Food & Beverage professional and Chinatown Report founder Joe Muscaglione is convinced of this. And he is convincing too. In a recent interview, he told Food and Wine Magazine’s Andy Wang

“You don’t have the alleys in Vegas, you don’t have the history of other Chinatowns,” Muscaglione says. “But as far as food, we have the best of any Chinatown in North America, and that includes Vancouver”. Andy Wang agreed, writing that although it was a bold statement, it was hard to disagree with.

Uber culinary expert and celebrity TV host Andrew Zimmern loves Chinatown Vegas too. During one of his frequent visit, he said if you think that only the strip is the hedonistic paradise, it’s no longer all that Vegas has to offer. “Go check out Spring Mountain Road and its surrounding neighborhood and tell me differently. I dare you”. he stated confidently.
